Looking for authentic Somali word that ends with the consonant 'M'

[fox]

You might be onto something, I just made a sentence in my head and used tilmaam

"Bal ii tilmaam" sounds correct. "Bal ii tilmaan" sounds off.

 

[daacad]

The f*ck? I've never heard anyone use dareem with an 'n'.

stop playing it is dareen, "dareem" is not a word

 

[SomaliWadaniSoldier]

Is it not Tilmaan.

 

[black]

stop playing it is dareen, "dareem" is not a word

Yes it is

 

[fox]

stop playing it is dareen, "dareem" is not a word

"Wax ma dareenigarta" sounds correct. "Wax ma dareemigarta" sounds off.

 

[Arman]

stop playing it is dareen, "dareem" is not a word

Which sentence sounds correct to you?

a. Maxa dareemeysa?
b. Maxa dareenaysa?

 

[daacad]

Yes it is

thanks for creating a new word in the Somali language -you deserve an award

 

[fox]

Which sentence sounds correct to you?

a. Maxa dareemeysa?
b. Maxa dareenaysa?

None. It would be:

Maxaad dareemisa?

 

[daacad]

Which sentence sounds correct to you?

a. Maxa dareemeysa?
b. Maxa dareenaysa?

it is used differently when in a sentence

 

[black]

Which sentence sounds correct to you?

a. Maxa dareemeysa?
b. Maxa dareenaysa?

it's funny because I know 100% my mom says dareen, but I say dareem (and so does my dad I think?). It's 100% dareemeysa though

 

[Hemaal]

Which sentence sounds correct to you?

a. Maxa dareemeysa?
b. Maxa dareenaysa?

Obviously the first one! Dareenaysa sound like a disease :siilaanyosmile:

 

[daacad]

sanam-there I got a word

 

[Hemaal]

Faith in Somali language restored



@Araman

 

[Arman]

None. It would be:

Maxa dareenisa?

It sounds correct to me. Must be regional differences once again.

it is used differently when in a sentence

Explain it.

it's funny because I know 100% my mom says dareen, but I say dareem (and so does my dad I think?). It's 100% dareemeysa though

Why did you start using it with an 'm'?

Obviously the first one! Dareenaysa sound like a disease

How does it sound like a disease? The suffix there indicates that it is verb,

 

[Hemaal]

sanam-there I got a word

Arabic

 

[daacad]

Arabic

Somali too sxb

 

[warculus]

[Sarah136]

I just saw this question on twitter lol

 

[MaqaneJooge]

Which sentence sounds correct to you?

a. Maxa dareemeysa?
b. Maxa dareenaysa?

I would use A


When I use A: "Waxaan dareemeyaa naxdin" and in plural "Iyaga waxay dareemayaan".

When I use B: "Dareenkayga ma wanagsana" , "Dareenkaaga waa sidee".
